Too bad there isn't a playoff system where you take the best teams and put them into a tournment...that just would be too great of an idea

The AP didnt really give us any love either. What I dont understand is why Uconn is ahead of us and we beat them. ???????

Too many people would go VBroke on that one.

## 21 and 22 are about right. I can't justify UConn's rank, but I can say that Marquette is about 4 slots above us, and they beat us by close to half a hundred. Like Gtown did. It's best to stay focused on the teams we have to step up to than argue about whether we should be 19 or 21. The Tournament will sort that out.
